DOZENS of mourners were due to gather today to pay their respects to a teenager who died when his bicycle was in collision with a car.
Friends and family were converging on St Edward's Church in Netley this morning for the funeral of Jordan Wickington.
The much-loved 19-year-old died in the rush-hour accident on the morning of February 7.
His yellow bike was in collision with a red BMW 3 series car at the junction of Mountbatten Way and West Quay Road, Southampton.
Jordan, of Woolston Road, Netley, suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Southampton General Hospital, where he later died.
The accident sparked hundreds of tributes in a book of condolence set up on the Daily Echo's website.
Following the accident more than 100 mourners kept an evening vigil in memory of Jordan at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley Abbey to share their memories and hold a minute's silence on Saturday, February 10.
Jordan's father Glenn and sister Laura joined the event, which was organised by Jordan's best friend Matt Cooke. The boys had been pals since meeting at Hamble Community Sports College.
